Have you looked at your ironing board cover lately? Their rattiness always sneaks up on you. Probably because it’s one of those things you can hide away. But, really, a nice, pretty ironing board cover can make the tedious job of ironing so much more pleasant. Instead of opting for a ready-made, ill-fitting cover, we can make our own one-of-a-kind, perfectly-tailor cover thanks to Maika Creations’ tutorial. Here’s what Maika says we’ll need to whip one up:

  • cotton fabric 
  • double folded bias tape
  • elastic (5mm wide)
  • butcher’s paper for pattern
  • cotton (for batting)
  • sticky tape, pencil, ruler, scissors, measuring tape, thread, sewing machine

To see the entire tutorial visit Maika Creations or go to this handy Google Doc directly.
